🏇 Ornella Prosperi Over Breeches – Long Model
Italian-made rubberized polyester over-breeches in the Long Model — open-bottom with ankle Velcro strap, worn over base breeches for protection and coverage during training and race-day preparation. Available in White only.
Over-Breech Design — Worn Over Base Breeches
The Ornella Prosperi Over Breeches pull on directly over your standard race breeches, adding a protective outer layer without restricting movement. The pull-on elastic waist makes them fast to put on and take off between rides. The over-breech cut is generous enough to accommodate base breeches underneath without bunching or binding through the seat and thigh.
Long Model — Extended Length for Taller Riders
The Long Model features an extended length cut specifically for taller jockeys and exercise riders. The Long sizing runs across Small Long (SL) and Medium Long (ML) variants, giving taller riders the same precise Italian fit that shorter riders get in the standard sizes — full coverage from waist to ankle with no gap and no riding up.
Open Bottom with Ankle Velcro Strap
Unlike integrated legging breeches, the Long Model has an open bottom — no lycra legging attached. The ankle is secured with a Velcro strap that cinches the breech neatly over your boot top, keeping the fabric in place during fast work without the restriction of a closed-bottom construction. Quick to adjust, easy to remove.
Rubberized Polyester — Italian Craftsmanship
Constructed from rubberized polyester, these over-breeches offer a smooth, durable outer surface that sheds mud and moisture easily. Ornella Prosperi has outfitted professional jockeys from Italy's premier racing circuits for decades, with reinforced seams at the inner thigh and knee — the zones that take the most wear during daily training and schooling.

🧼 Care & Maintenance Instructions
- Machine Washing: Machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle in cold water; turn inside out to protect the rubberized outer surface
- Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent; avoid fabric softeners which degrade elastic fibers and the rubberized surface
- Drying: Hang dry only — do not tumble dry, as heat damages rubberized polyester and elastic construction
- Ironing: Do not iron the rubberized outer surface; iron inside out on a low setting only if needed
- Velcro Strap: Close the ankle Velcro strap before washing to prevent snagging on fabric
- Storage: Store flat or loosely folded in a cool, dry place
- Avoid: Bleach, dry cleaning solvents, and prolonged direct sunlight
- Seam Inspection: Check reinforced seams at inner thigh and knee regularly for wear
